Lower Assendon is a village in the Assendon valley in the Chiltern Hills, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Henley-on-Thames in South Oxfordshire, England. The road between Henley and Wallingford passes the village. It was made into a turnpike in 1736 and ceased to be a turnpike in 1873.[1] It is now classified the A4130. The village has a public house, The Golden Ball, that is now a gastropub.[2] Henley Park is just east of the village. It was a medieval deer park and in 1300 became part of the manor of Henley.[3] In the Georgian era the park was converted into a landscape garden with "beautiful inclosures descending in natural waving slopes from the house."[4] Fairmile Cemetery, on a hillside southwest of the village, belongs to Henley Town Council.
